Kevin Chern recently published an article in Forbes sharing his perspective on rebuilding leadership teams to better support women leaders.

The Sanguine senior leadership team is 50% women, in roles tied directly to revenue, operations, and growth. Not advisory. Not symbolic.

It wasn’t a cultural initiative. It was a business decision.

In most companies, activity is mistaken for progress. Teams move quickly, initiatives multiply, and priorities shift. Without clear direction and commitment, that activity creates friction, not results.

When clarity and commitment are at the forefront of every initiative, ex*****on gets cleaner: fewer revisited decisions, less duplicated effort, stronger delivery, and better margin protection over time.

In this blog, Sue Foley explores one of the simplest (and hardest) competitive advantages to build: intentionality. Not doing more, but doing what matters, on purpose, with clarity on priorities and real follow-through once decisions are made.

In business, innovation is often treated like a big event.

But the companies that outperform usually do something simpler: they build innovation into everyday ex*****on. Small improvements. Faster learning. Shorter cycles. Better outcomes.

In this blog, Sue Foley explains why continuous improvement is a true commercial advantage and how organizations can turn insight into action quickly.

Every business faces challenges. How they handle these challenges can be a true competitive advantage.

When teams treat obstacles as signals (not failures), they get better at spotting root causes, making decisions faster, and building systems that prevent the same issues from repeating.

The result: smoother ex*****on, stronger client confidence, and more scalable growth.

In this blog, Sue Foley breaks down what it means to turn challenges into superpowers, and how to operationalize resilience so it becomes a repeatable discipline, not a one-time heroic effort.

Most leaders try to fix what’s visible: strategy, systems, ex*****on. While that may seem right, "The CEO Whisperer" Debra Sunderland figured out the real drivers of results are invisible: mindset, trust, and patterns under pressure.

In this blog, Debra breaks down how “invisible wins” create visible wins, and what it looks like when leaders shift how they see before they try to change what they do.

Third-party lead generation can be a powerful growth channel for law firms, but only when the right systems are in place behind it.

Recently, Sanguine's VP of Legal Solutions, Anthony Bux, joined Chris Dreyer on the Personal Injury Mastermind podcast to discuss what law firms often get wrong about third-party lead gen, why intake is such a critical part of the equation, and how firms should think about evaluating providers.

In this blog, we cover some of the most important points Anthony shared in the discussion. If your firm has ever debated buying leads, or tried it with mixed results, this is worth a read.
